Apr 1 Elsa Leydier

Elsa Leydier lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after graduating from École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles (France) in 2015.

In her photographic work, she aims to interrogate images that are used to define iconic places and territories, and to show them through the prism of alternative and lesser stories, like for example the story of pollution in one of the most iconic landscapes of Rio de Janeiro, or the constructed character of the idealised image of the Amazon forest.
